Appellant lives in the Hillis Elementary School attendance area, which is located in the Des Moines District. She timely-filed her open enrollment application for Dustin to attend kindergarten in the West Des Moines District so he could be transported to the Center after his morning kinder-garten class. Her application was denied under the District's open enrollment/desegregation policy.

In the appeal under consideration here, the only operative question is whether this is a "non-minority" student who is ineligible because his transfer would adversely affect the District's existing minority/non-minority ratio. (Bd. tr. at 3.) Since Dustin is a non-minority, the application was properly denied by the District.

That the decision of the Des Moines Independent Community School District's Board of Directors made on February 6, 1996, denying Appellant's open enrollment request for Dustin Fish to attend the West Des Moines Community School District for the 1996-97 school year, was affirmed.
